Orsay - January 17, 2012

Vocapia Research announces the availability of two additional
languages, Polish and Greek, in the VoxSigma speech-to-text software
suite. The transcription systems target a range of broadcast and
webdata. The Polish support comes with a 400k word vocabulary to
handle the large variety of inflected forms arising from conjugation
and declension. As for the Russian language, pronunciation modeling
accounts for the contextual forms of consonants which can be plain
(also called hard) or palatalized (also called soft). For the Greek
language, the recognition vocabulary explicitly models pronunciation
variants for frequent foreign words. The language coverage of the
VoxSigma suite is expanding regularly. The following languages are
currently available: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Dutch, English,
French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. All
these languages are offered as a standalone software and via Vocapia's
web service.
